1. CONTEST DESCRIPTION:

The Girl Scout Cookie Pro™ Contest 2019
("Contest"), solely sponsored by the Girl Scouts of the
United States of America ("Sponsor" or “GSUSA”), allows an
eligible individual ("Entrant") to highlight her unique
cookie story by completing an entry form, which requires answering
questions, uploading a mini graphic novel, and providing a photo of
herself (“Submission”).

The Sponsor will select twenty-four (24) winners, four (4) per Girl
Scout grade level (Girl Scout Daisies, Girl Scout Brownies, Girl Scout
Juniors, Girl Scout Cadettes, Girl Scout Seniors, and Girl Scout
Ambassadors), from among the Entrants who have provided a complete
Submission and who have complied with all of the terms and conditions
of these Official Rules ("the Prize Winners").

2. CONTEST PERIOD:

The Contest begins on January 2, 2019, at 12:00 a.m. EST and ends
on May 1, 2019 at 3:00 a.m. EST ("Promotional
Period"). The Sponsor's clock is the official clock and sole
determinant for the purposes of a valid vote in the Contest.

3. ELIGIBILITY:

This Contest is open only to registered Girl Scout Cookie Program
participants during the 2018/2019 cookie season from participating
councils who are legal residents of one of the 50 U.S. states, the

(including Residents currently residing in overseas military
installations with a valid APO/FPO mailing address) and apply together
with a parent or legal guardian who is 18 years old or older as of the

guardian) must be available to travel to the state of California from
July 24 through July 28, 2019 (“Travel Period”). An Entrant will not
be officially declared a Prize Winner until the Entrant or Entrant’s
parent/legal guardian has signed all required documentation and can
commit to travel during the Travel Period. If an Entrant or an
Entrant’s parent or legal guardian is not available to travel during
the Travel Period, Potential Prize Winner(s) will not be eligible to
win the Prize, and a new Potential Prize Winner will be selected.

her work and finish the Submission later. Sponsor will not be
responsible for retrieving any incomplete or lost responses.

Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the Submission,
any other attempted form of online entry is void and will not be
accepted. Submissions that in the Sponsor's sole discretion are
deemed to be obscene, indecent, incomplete, or inappropriate may be
disqualified and removed from the pool of eligible entries. Entrant,
or anyone acting on behalf of Entrant, may not offer prizes, awards,
gifts, money or consideration of any kind in exchange for votes in the
Contest, and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Entrant it
believes, in Sponsor's sole discretion, to be engaging in such
activity. Any use of automatic, programmed, or like methods of entry
(e.g. bots or scripts) will void all Entrants Submissions by such
methods. By submitting an entry, Entrants (and, if minors, their

proprietary right (or where a recognizable product that is protectable
by copyright or trademark appears). Such entries shall not be eligible
to win this Contest. If a mini graphic novel was created by a person
other than the Entrant (or any other material or elements not owned by

(and, if minors, her parent or legal guardian), must not have won
previous awards, must not have been published previously, must not
infringe upon any third party's rights, and must be suitable for

to questions detailing their Girl Scout Cookie Program® experience,

skills and channels they employ to run their cookie business, how they
choose to invest their cookie earnings to power their troop
experiences year-round and how they interact with their cookie
customers during their sale.

Round 2, see chart below.

Round #3: From the Semi-Finalists, GSUSA will select
one-hundred twenty (120) Verified Entrants (“Finalists”)—twenty (20)
per Girl Scout grade level—based on their score and verification.
Verification will include confirming Entrant’s membership status with
GSUSA, her participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program during the
2018/2019 Cookie Season and any other verifiable requirements in
the Official Contest Rules. Entrants will be disqualified if their
submissions don't meet any of the outlined requirements established in
the rules.

Round #4: From the Finalists, GSUSA Cookie Pro™ Committee will
select twenty-four (24) winners—four (4) per Girl Scout grade
level—based on how their complete Submission (answers to their
questions and mini graphic novel) illustrates their Cookie program
learnings and how they apply their learnings to run their cookie
business like a pro. Four (4) runner-ups will be selected for each
Girl Scout grade level in case the winning Cookie Pros cannot travel
